Data updated: 2026-03-24T14:38:18.048Z

Evaluation of multi-class text classification performance on the AG News dataset, measured using Micro-F1 and Macro-F1 scores.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Multi-class text classification |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | AG News |
| Metric | Micro-F1 |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 33 of 33 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Micro-F1](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/multi-class-text-classification-on-ag-news.md?metric=Micro-F1>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Macro-F1](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/multi-class-text-classification-on-ag-news.md?metric=Macro-F1>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
